Ruth 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Ruth Gleans in Boaz’s Field

Now Naomi^H5281 had [fn]a relative^H4129 of her husband^H376, a [fn]man^H376 of great^H1368 wealth^H2428, of the family^H4940 of Elimelech^H458, whose name^H8034 was Boaz^H1162.

Rth 2:2

Rth 2:2And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain following one in whose eyes I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”

Rth 2:3

Rth 2:3So she left and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and [fn]she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

Rth 2:4

Rth 2:4Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” And they said to him, “May the LORD bless you.”

Rth 2:5

Rth 2:5Then Boaz said to his servant who was [fn]in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”

Rth 2:6

Rth 2:6And the servant [fn]in charge of the reapers replied, “She is the young Moabite woman who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.

Rth 2:7

Rth 2:7“And she said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came and has remained from the morning until now; she has been sitting in the house for a little while.”

Rth 2:8

Then Boaz^H1162 said^H559 to Ruth^H7327, “[fn]Listen^H8085 carefully^H3808, my daughter^H1323. Do not go^H1980 to glean^H3950 in another^H312 field^H7704; furthermore^H1571, do not go^H5674 on^H5674 from this^H2088 one^H2088, but join^H1692^H5973 my young^H5291 women^H5291 here^H3541.

Rth 2:9

Rth 2:9“Keep your eyes on the field which they reap, and go after them. Indeed, I have ordered the servants not to touch you. When you are thirsty, go to the [fn]water jars and drink from what the servants draw.”

Rth 2:10

Rth 2:10Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”

Rth 2:11

Rth 2:11Boaz replied to her, “All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know.

Rth 2:12

Rth 2:12“May the LORD reward your [fn]work, and may your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

Rth 2:13

Rth 2:13Then she said, “I have found favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and indeed have spoken [fn]kindly to your servant, though I am not like one of your female servants.”

Rth 2:14

And at mealtime^H6256^H400 Boaz^H1162 said^H559 to her, “[fn]Come^H5066 here^H1988, that you may eat^H398 of the bread^H3899 and dip^H2881 your piece^H6595 of^H6595 bread^H6595 in the vinegar^H2558.” So she sat^H3427 beside^H4480^H6654 the reapers^H7114; and he served^H6642 her roasted^H7039 grain^H7039, and she ate^H398 and was^H7646 satisfied^H7646 and had^H3498 some left^H3498.

Rth 2:15

Rth 2:15When she got up to glean, Boaz commanded his servants, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not [fn]insult her.

Rth 2:16

Rth 2:16“Also you are to purposely slip out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it so that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”

Rth 2:17

So she gleaned^H3950 in the field^H7704 until^H5704 evening^H6153. Then she beat^H2251 out^H2251 what^H834 she had gleaned^H3950, and it was about an [fn]ephah^H374 of barley^H8184.

Rth 2:18

Rth 2:18And she picked it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also took some out and gave [fn]Naomi what she had left after [fn]she was satisfied.

Rth 2:19

Rth 2:19Her mother-in-law then said to her, “Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

Rth 2:20

Rth 2:20Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed of the LORD who has not withdrawn His kindness from the living and from the dead.” Again Naomi said to her, “The man is our relative; he is one of our redeemers.”

Rth 2:21

Rth 2:21Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “[fn]Furthermore, he said to me, ‘You are to stay close to my servants until they have finished all my harvest.’”

Rth 2:22

Rth 2:22And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, so that others do not assault you in another field.”

Rth 2:23

Rth 2:23So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz in order to glean until the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
